Welcome! I'm a postdoc at the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation. In 2026, I will join the Department of Markets, Public Policy & Law at Boston University as an assistant professor. I received my PhD in economics from UChicago in 2025.
My research is in industrial organization and urban economics, primarily in commercial real estate and retail.
